you run

pulumi preview --diff

to identify the changes pulumi thinks needs making to the dbs

From there, it might be easiest to update the code to reflect what's detected from gcp

I can't get the diff because of this error:

unable to replace resource "urn:......." as it is currently marked for protection

jolly-window-25842

11/14/2023, 12:11 PM

should I just unprotect it?

dry-keyboard-94795

11/14/2023, 12:12 PM

Sure, though remember to protect it again after finding out the diff

You can use the cli to unprotect it: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/cli/commands/pulumi_state_unprotect/

but why didn't

refresh

show me these changes? like there is a bucket that now shows

lifecycleRules

were deleted, but

refresh

didn't show it

It could be a bug, or could be a refresh happened inbetween the change in GCP and the refresh you've just done

it's showing strange things, quite sure nobody changed all this values and refresh didn't give any hints about this

jolly-window-25842

still trying to get a full diff, though

It's worth checking the obvious things at this point. Are you pointing to the right gcp account, have you got the correct branch checked out, is there anything in the state history (if you're using Pulumi Cloud)

jolly-window-25842

correct account: I've only got one. Correct branch. And how do I check the state history in Pulumi cloud?

It's under "Activity" https://www.pulumi.com/docs/pulumi-cloud/projects-and-stacks/#stack-activity

Something that can end up showing more values in the diff is provider updates, though these should be harmless. pulumi-gcp recently updated to v7. What version are you on currently, is it the same as your last known good apply? An example of the diff (redacted how you see fit) would be helpful

I updated the cli, but pulumi-gcp is still at 6

I would love a webinar on the stack activity topic for SRE.

I don't see the activity link. Anyways, I was able to fix it: there were a few values that people manually changed without going through pulumi, plus a couple of defaults that weren't set in the pulumi, but were returned by

refresh

. And finally, GCP autoscales db disk size and since it was higher than what was set in the pulumi code, pulumi wanted to replace them. I still think the

refresh

command was off: it didn't show any of these things in the preview. Thanks for your help @dry-keyboard-94795, I really appreciate it!

Glad it was eventually resolved. For the db resizing, you can use the

ignoreChanges

option so the auto-sizing doesn't cause the same issue in future. The defaults in GCP, I believe they're not supposed to show in the refresh output, but they're also not supposed to show in the diff either. Does it still show changes to apply to the db?
